General Master Workman Powderly adj
dressed mass meeting of the knights Of
labor in Boston the other night.
Referring to BOston's welcome to Queen
Kapiolani, he said the city did right IL
also did right In deciding to welcome him
in royal way, for though individually he
counted no more than any other, yet at
the head of an organization that Is work
ing to bring the country back to her origi-
nal moOrings, he represents more than any
monarch OH Gods earth. Applause. In
welcoming him city of Boston well
comes labor throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
Referring to the newspaper reports OF
discussions in the the order, he said that
differences did exist and always would so
long as men were men, but that the order
would survive all differences and live to
accomplish its object.
After dwelling at some length upon the
principles and work of the order, he deliv-
cred powerful philippe on the evils of
rum, besOught the workingmen to abandon
the habit of rum-drinking and declared
that he wished every member of the
Knights of labor was compelled to sign a
pledge as a preliminary to membership.
He denies the charge that he had sought
to use the order in the interest of the
Catholic church. He had explained its
principles and workings to high officials Of
both the Catholic and Protestant churches
and If he had been in any degree instru-
mental in securing the good will of Rome,
he thought he deserved praise rather than
blame.
Finally, he said he desired to say once
for all, emphatically, that he was not a
candidate for reelection to the Office of
grand master workman, and under no cir
cumstances would he accept reelection.
He had been misrepresented and falsely
accused, and he desired privacy and rest.
He would, however, continue to work in
the interest of the order, even If he were
obliged to pay for the privilege Of so doing

The German bill, which has been the sub

and of many circumstances by members
of the congregations, has been taken from
the table in the senate, ordered printed

object of the bill is TO place the title to

The Unjust Discrimination Made In wages

labor.
Even when doing the same kind OF
work, and work which woman plain
" can do as well as a man. the woman
invariably received less wages than the
man. In the manufacture OF cotton
goods the men mule-spinners received
one dollar and fifty-seycn cents week,
men frame-spinncrs received one dol
lar week. and men ring-spirners
uhe third hands, received three dol
lars and sixty-six cents week more
than women received who did precise
ly the same kind of work. Girls, as
spare hands in reeling and warping,
earned five dollars and eleven cents a
week less than men, though feckoncc
rs second hands at the same work. In
the cloth-room women were paid two
dollars and forty-nine cents week
less than the men. In the inanuiact-
ure Of musical instruments women ac-
tion.makers earned six dollars and
fifty cents less per week than the men.
In the manufacture of paper. girl
fnishers earned four dollars and sew
enty-thrre cents less than the men, and
less even than the boys engaged. Men
proof-readers received twelve dollars
and forty-eight cents a week more than
women proof-readers. Women press
feeders were paid two dollars and sew
enty-nine cents a week less than the
men, and women book-compositors re-
ceiyod four dollars week less than
men. In the manufacture OF rubber
goods, women rubber workers re-
ccivcd three dollars and forty-five
cents. and women spoilers received
two dollars and fifty eight cents a week
less than the men doing the same kind
of work. In the manufacture of wool
en- goods, women carders earned two
dollars and seventy-three cents, and
women spinners earned two dollars
and cghty-scyen cents, and women
weavcrs earned one dollar and eight
cents less than the men doing the same
kind of worl, Q3th Ann. Rep, PIP. 422,
426); and so the story runs al
through.
1t is impossible to believe that thi:
uniform difference in wages paid &c
men and women can be owing to any
similar uniform difference in the abil'
ity of the operative to do the work
Because many Of these occupations
are ones in which woman would GER
tainly do as good work, and might
very naturally be expected to, and nc
doubt does, excel as a worker, and ye
they always receive less than men. -

WEATHER AND CROPS.

The Signal Office Weekly Weather-Crop
Bulletin-w Well Distributed Rainfall I'm
the Drought Section, But Rather Tardy
to be OF Service, Except to Late Planted
Areas.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The signal Of
fee weekly weather crop bulletin says:
During the week ending August 20 it has
been slightly warmer than usual through
out the Southern States and the Ohio val
ley, and cooler than usual throughout the
Lake region and the Upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys, the average daily tenn
perature in the last district ranging from
2 to degrees below the normal. In
New England, the Middle Atlantic States
and on the Pacific coast the temperature
differed but slightly from the normal.
The daily average temperature for the sea
son, from January / to August 20, has
ranged from / to 2 degrees above
the normal in the central val
leys, and il has been slightly
cooler than usual at stations on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, and from Lake
Superior westward to Montana. During
the week the rainfall has been in excess
generally throughout the corn and tobac-
co regions, and the northeast portion Of
the cotton region and in Northern New
England, while there has been less than
the usual amount of rain in the lower Mis-
sissippi valley, on the Middle and South
Atlantic coast, in Arkansas, in the south
ern portions of Missouri and Kansas, and
from Lake Superior westward TO Dakota.
Well distributed rains have occurred
throu ghout the drought region, and rain
continues in this section. The large def
cheney in the rainfall for the season, rang
ing from five to fifteen inches in the Missis
sippi valley, has been slightly reduced 10
the Northern States and augmented in the
Southern States during the past week, the
only sections reporting an excess of rain
fall for the season being Northern New
England, central portions Of the Middle
Atlantic States, Southern Dakota, and the
northern Pacific coast.
The weather for the week has been fa-
vorabe throughout the corn belt, and the
recent rains have greatly improved the
condition Of that crop, but owing to the
lateness of the rains in the principal corn
producing States, the yield will probably
be below the average. In the cotton re-
gion from Alabama westward to Texas
the weather for the past week has inn
proved the crop conditions and the cotton
harvest is progressing, but more rain wo aid
benefit the crop in the central portion of
Arkansas. In North and South Carolina
an excess Of rainfall for the week is re.
ported as unfavorabe for the cotton crop.
The weather has been generally favorable
for all crops in Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and in the Middle Atlantic and New
England States. In Minnesota the uncut
crops were improved, and harvested crops
damaged by the rain.

The Conditions of Moral Growth

In the recent debates at the London
University College Miss Mary Lowndes
made an able speech in support of 'he
theory that self-analysis retards healthy
mental and moral Developments In
the moral, as in the physical world'
she said, contemplation of self was
apt to induce an abnormal condition
in the part under observation. and TINS
was fatal TO healthy development. Inc
opposer, in speech Of consideraple
eloquence, pointed out that there was
no close analogy between physical anu
moral growth, that the one was an uh-
conscious. involuntary process, and the
other was not. The primary condi''on
of moral growth, indeed, was the e1-
ercise Of faculty directly controliaple
by the human will, and that was the
faculty of introspection. The discus
sion was carried on by Mrs. MalieN
Mrs, r. Garnett, Miss Heather-bigg'

Co-education of the Sexes.

In the midst Of general friendly re-
cognition of the success of women ia
college, the Boston Herald has this to
say OF the advance of co-education:
"Co-cducation has advanced faster
than any other feature Of education in
this country in the last decade, and. on
the whole, is found to work well.
Nearly every prominent college in the
land is now admitting young women
to its privileges, and the more the
experiment is tried the more success
fully it seems to work. The increasing
demand for the higher education Of
women has forced their admission to
college studies, if not in all cases 10

man like Dr. Deems, of New York

of the sexes.
According to the Christian idea, says
Rev. James Freeman Clarke, men and
women are to act together, in all in-
dustries, all arts, all literature; In the
church, the home and the State.
"What God has joined together, let no
man nut asunder." Mans nature and
woman's nature will always remain
different, but because different, COM
Elementary; each supplying what the
other needs. There are three ways OF
treating woman - the savage way,
which makes her slave and drudgei
the Asiatic way, which makes her an
ornament and plaything; and the
Christian way, which makes hera COM
panion and worker with man in
all things.
In Christ Jesus " there is Neither
male nor female" Let us not be
afraid of carrying out this Christian
principle to its ultimate results. The
result will be that woman will become
more truly womanly, more refined,
because better satisfied, and more full
" unfoldcd. Society will become more
pure, the State more virtuous, the peo-
pie happier and better When Jesus
forbade the divorces allowed in His
time, it was on the ground of the ideal
union Of man and woman in marriage.

ground we claim suffrage for woman

A Famous English Woman.

After the Queen, the most famous
woman of the hour in England is Miss
Agnata Ramsay, aged twenty, the win
ncr as has been announced, of the
first place in the Cambridge classical
examination. Miss Ramsay has dis
tanced all of the male students, al
though she has studied Greek only four
years. She is a granddaughter Of
Prof. Ramsay, of Glasgow, and her
father was a double first class man at
Oxford. Miss Agnata was a pupil at
Girton College. Her triumph is not
the only female victory in medieval
and modern language, as in the exam
ination Miss Hervey, Of Newnham Col
legc, stands alone in the first class of
that institution; Miss Tooke, Of Newn-
ham, at the head Of the second class,
and Miss Young, of Girton, at the top
of the first class of her college. These
achievements, which are likely to lead
TO the immediate admission of women
to the Oxford and Cambridge Universe
ties degrees, have dealt a tremendous
blow to the theory, tenaciously adj
hered to in these institutions, that the
intellect of women is inferior to that of
men.-N o. Times Democrat.
